If you’re looking to create different sections for your course based on the number of units students are enrolled in (or for any other reason), you can manually create separate sections or use the Groups <-> Sections tool to clones sections based on groups.

First you'll need to create new sections for the course. To do so, see the steps below.

Click Settings on the lefthand navigation

Click the Sections tab

Type in the name of the first section (e.g. "1 unit students")

Click +Section

Repeat this for any additional section

You'll now need to add students to the sections

Click on People from the lefthand navigation

Click +People

Paste in all the students' SUNet IDs (it must be their official SUNet ID and not an alias) for those enrolled in one of the sections

For "Section", select the section to which the student should be added

Click Next and complete the process

Repeat this for the other sections

Alternatively, you can create self-signup groups, have students enroll in the correct group (or you can manually assign), and use the Section <-> Group tool to clone the groups into sections. For more information on this option, please see our step-by-step guide on How to Clone Sections and Groups.
